Thought leaders are said to be the think-tanks of an organization. They initiate changes in the way the organization does things and play a big role in shaping the organization’s future to take it to the next level. They question the norm, they share their thoughts and discuss their ideas. They are on a continous learning path and bring value to the organization.
So, a leader who is in sync with the organizations business focus, who is responsible for finding new opportunities, who is always on the look out for new lines of business that the organization can focus on, who is always thinking of innovative ideas to improve functional areas in such a way that it results in bottom-line benefits – is he a thought leader?
… and if you are not a leader but a domain expert or the tech guru of the organization – are you also a thought leader?
Who is a thought leader and what does it take to be one?
